Monica + Andy, known for its organic cotton children’s wear, is moving beyond garments. The brand just unveiled a suite of baby-care items and is bringing them to Walmart and its own site, signaling a major push into everyday baby essentials.
What the new baby-care lineup includes
The launch introduces several essentials aimed at newborns and toddlers. The initial collection features:

- 2-in-1 baby shampoo and body wash
- Gentle baby soap
- A calming bedtime cream
- A nourishing balm
- Baby laundry detergent formulated for sensitive skin
Products are priced to be accessible, generally landing in the $10–$20 range.
Where customers can buy the new products
Monica + Andy is launching in mass retail as well as online. At rollout, the baby-care line is:
- Available on Walmart.com
- On shelves in more than 1,400 Walmart stores
- Offered direct-to-consumer via Monica + Andy’s own website
This dual distribution strategy aims to balance wide reach with the brand’s direct relationship to shoppers.
How the brand kept its identity while expanding
Since its 2014 debut as a DTC kids’ clothing label, Monica + Andy has been defined by organic materials and careful sourcing. The new baby-care range continues that focus by prioritizing cleaner, plant-forward ingredients.
Founder and CEO Monica Royer always planned for the company to grow beyond apparel. That long-term vision guided product choices for skin care and home wash items, keeping product integrity central to the expansion.
Why plant-based and organic-first matters to the line
Ingredient decisions were deliberate. The team tested numerous formulas and ingredient types to find options that soothe sensitive skin and meet the brand’s standards.
- The shampoo/body wash blends aloe, oat, and organic calendula.
- The bedtime cream includes extracts such as avocado and mango.
- Formulas emphasize plant-derived components whenever possible.
Cost and ingredient quality were balanced to create baby-care items that fit a mass-market price point without sacrificing the brand’s clean ethos.
Product development: sourcing, testing and choices
Finding the right partners
Royer carried lessons from clothing into skin care. She insisted on transparent sourcing and sought suppliers that aligned with Monica + Andy’s standards.
Testing and formulation
The company ran extensive trials, comparing plant-based and synthetic ingredients. Those tests helped confirm that a plant-forward approach could deliver performance and safety.
Packaging and messaging built for outcome-driven shoppers
Packaging highlights the active, plant-derived ingredients and explains benefits like soothing, protection, and gentle cleansing. The brand is leaning into an outcome-focused shopping trend.
Instead of selling by category, Monica + Andy frames its products by results—calm skin, gentle cleansing, easier sleep routines—mirroring how many adults choose personal-care items today.
How Monica + Andy plans to promote the launch
The brand manages influencer relations in-house and will use a network of micro-influencers to amplify the new line. Early ambassadors have been testing products in Walmart stores and sharing video reviews.
- Micro-influencers will spotlight in-store experiences.
- User-generated content is expected to drive trial among parents.
- The brand aims to get as many moms sampling the formulas as possible.
Where this move fits in the brand’s broader trajectory
Monica + Andy began with organic cotton children’s clothing and later added maternity styles and coordinated sets for moms and children. This baby-care expansion is the next step toward becoming a broader lifestyle brand for young families.
By combining retail scale with DTC roots and a plant-first promise, the company is positioning itself to compete in both specialty and mass channels.
